    IBM Instana Self-Hosted brings the full power of Instana with real-time observability platform into your own controlled environment. Whether on-premises, in a sovereign cloud, or inside air-gapped infrastructure, Instana delivers unmatched visibility across applications, containers, microservices, and infrastructure.

    With 1-second granularity, 100% distributed tracing (no sampling), and automatic discovery of application components, Instana ensures that no performance issue goes undetected. Intuitive dashboards, native OpenTelemetry support, and zero-code instrumentation accelerate time-to-value, making it easy for DevOps, SRE, and ITOps teams to adopt and scale observability.

    Available in both single-node and multi-node deployment templates, Instana Self-Hosted is optimized for environments where SaaS cannot be used, such as regulated industries, national security, and hybrid cloud use cases. Deployments take less than 15 minutes and run without data ingestion limits, giving you full control of your observability stack.
